ANNEX 1
EXHIBIT B
ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT
ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT dated as of  _____  ,  _____  by [NAME OF NEW SUBSIDIARY], a  _____  corporation (the “Additional Obligor”), in favor of JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., as administrative agent under the Credit Agreement referred to below (in such capacity, together with its successors in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), and [  _____  ], as collateral trustee under the Shared Security Agreement and the Intercreditor and Collateral Trust Agreement referred to below (in such capacity, together with its successors in such capacity, the “Collateral Trustee”).
Westwood One, Inc., the “Subsidiary Guarantors” and “Lenders” party thereto, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, are parties to a Credit Agreement dated as of March 3, 2004 (as modified and supplemented and in effect from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”). In connection with the Credit Agreement, the Obligors referred to therein, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Trustee are parties to that certain Shared Security Agreement (as modified and supplemented and in effect from time to time, the “Shared Security Agreement”) and that certain Intercreditor and Collateral Trust Agreement (as modified and supplemented and in effect from time to time, the “Intercreditor and Collateral Trust Agreement”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Shared Security Agreement.
Pursuant to Section 6.08 of the Credit Agreement, the Additional Obligor hereby agrees to become a “Subsidiary Guarantor” for all purposes of the Credit Agreement, an “Obligor” for all purposes of the Shared Security Agreement and an “Obligor” for all purposes of the Intercreditor and Collateral Trust Agreement (and hereby supplements each of the Annexes to the Shared Security Agreement in the manner specified in Appendix A hereto). Without limiting the foregoing, the Additional Obligor hereby, jointly and severally with the other Subsidiary Guarantors, guarantees to each Lender and the Administrative Agent and their respective successors and assigns the prompt payment in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of all Guaranteed Obligations (as defined in Section 3.01 of the Credit Agreement) in the same manner and to the same extent as is provided in Article III of the Credit Agreement. In addition, the Additional Obligor hereby makes the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 4.03, 4.04 and 4.05 of the Credit Agreement with respect to itself and its obligations under this Agreement, as if each reference in such Sections to the Loan Documents included reference to this Agreement.
In furtherance of the foregoing, the Additional Obligor, as collateral security for the prompt payment in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of its Secured Obligations, whether now existing or hereafter from time to time arising, does hereby mortgage, charge, assign and pledge to the Collateral Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and does hereby grant to the Collateral Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in the Additional Obligor’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Collateral of the Additional Obligor, whether now owned by the Additional Obligor or hereafter acquired and whether now existing or hereafter coming into existence. The Additional Obligor authorizes the Collateral Trustee to include in any financing statement filed in connection with the Shared Security Agreement a description describing the collateral as “all assets”.
